Is Work Stress Putting Your Blood Pressure at Risk?

Filipino workers are often described as hardworking, dependable, and resilient. However, a 2021 Gallup report added another descriptor: stressed. Filipino employees ranked as the most stressed in Southeast Asia, a troubling reality that highlights the impact of workplace stress on health.

While occasional stress can serve as a motivator, chronic stress—often brought on by demanding workloads, toxic work environments, or unrealistic expectations—can have serious consequences. According to Dr. Ramon D. Francisco, a cardiologist at Makati Medical Center, “Chronic stress manifests in physical symptoms like headaches, nausea, upset stomach, and stiffness in the neck.” More alarmingly, stress can contribute to high blood pressure, often referred to as the "silent killer."

“High blood pressure often shows no symptoms until it leads to a heart attack or stroke,” explains Dr. Francisco. Stress triggers the body to release hormones that increase heart rate and elevate blood pressure. Over time, stress can also lead to unhealthy habits such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, overeating, and a sedentary lifestyle—all of which further increase the risk of hypertension.

To help manage stress and maintain a healthy blood pressure, MakatiMed offers practical advice for navigating a demanding work environment.

1. Incorporate Physical Activity

Exercise is a proven stress reliever and a natural way to lower blood pressure. Dr. Francisco suggests simple activities like taking a walk during lunch breaks or organizing a running club with colleagues to train for a 5K run. For those who prefer low-impact activities, yoga is an excellent option. “Yoga’s slow, gentle movements help release tension accumulated during a hectic day,” he notes. Even short activities like pacing around the office for a few minutes can provide relief from stress.

2. Adopt Healthier Eating Habits

A nutritious diet plays a key role in managing stress and maintaining blood pressure. Swap junk food and sugary drinks for healthier alternatives like water, nuts, or fresh fruit. Dr. Francisco recommends participating in campaigns like Meatless Mondays, which promote reducing meat consumption for better health and environmental sustainability. “Small dietary changes can make a significant difference in your weight, blood pressure, and overall well-being,” he adds.

3. Prioritize Quality Sleep

Good sleep is essential for stress reduction and heart health. “Aim for the recommended 7-9 hours of sleep per night,” advises Dr. Francisco. “During sleep, your heart rate and blood pressure decrease, your brain processes information, and your body repairs and regenerates itself.” Quality rest not only boosts your mood but also prepares you to tackle challenges with a sharper mind and more resilience.

4. Consider Your Mindset and Environment

Sometimes, stress stems from toxic work environments that impact mental, physical, and emotional health. Dr. Francisco suggests re-evaluating such situations: “If work becomes harmful to your well-being, consider leaving. No job is worth your health.” For those who choose to stay, focusing on positivity and kindness can help create a lighter, less stressful atmosphere.

“Your health is your greatest asset,” concludes Dr. Francisco. By addressing stress proactively through lifestyle changes and mindset shifts, employees can safeguard their well-being and thrive both in and out of the workplace.

Prevention Is Always Better Than Cure: Guarding Your Canine Companion Against Parasites

When it comes to our beloved canine companions, their health and well-being are our top priorities. While we often focus on giving them the best food, toys, and endless cuddles, we sometimes overlook silent threats—parasites—that can disrupt their lives and ours. It’s one thing to know about these pests, but it’s another to truly understand the severity of the harm they can cause.

Picture this: One moment, your dog is joyfully playing outside or snuggling with you on the couch, and the next, they’re lethargic, refusing to eat, or visibly unwell. What seemed like a regular day can spiral into worry as you discover that parasites have taken a toll on your pet’s health. That’s why Boehringer Animal Health Philippines, Inc., a trusted leader in animal health, emphasizes the importance of prevention. With parasites, the old adage holds true: prevention is always better than cure.

To protect your furry friend, it’s essential to understand the common types of parasites, the threats they pose, and how to combat them effectively.
Internal Parasites: The Hidden Invaders

Internal parasites are often the most elusive, silently wreaking havoc on your dog’s health. These tiny invaders, which your dog can pick up from contaminated food, water, surfaces, or even other animals’ feces, are capable of causing severe damage.

Heartworms: Among the most dangerous internal parasites, heartworms are transmitted through mosquito bites. Once inside, they can damage vital organs such as the heart and lungs, leading to life-threatening complications if left untreated.

Roundworms: These long, thin parasites often infect puppies, causing digestive problems, poor growth, and a weakened immune system. Alarmingly, roundworms can also infect humans.

Hookworms: These blood-sucking parasites latch onto the intestinal walls, leading to anemia, weight loss, and lethargy. Like roundworms, hookworms are zoonotic and can pose a threat to human health as well.

External Parasites: The Visible Villains

Unlike internal parasites, external parasites are easier to spot but equally dangerous. These pests live on your dog’s skin and coat, causing discomfort and sometimes severe health issues:Fleas: Tiny but tenacious, fleas cause intense itching, allergic reactions, and skin infections.

Ticks: These blood-sucking pests can transmit diseases such as Lyme disease and tick fever, which can be fatal if not treated promptly.

Mites: These microscopic parasites often cause skin irritation, hair loss, and ear infections, which can become chronic if not addressed.

The Power of Prevention

Given the wide range of parasites and the damage they can cause, prevention is by far the best approach. A proactive strategy saves you the heartbreak and expense of treating an infected dog while ensuring your pet stays happy and healthy.

Start by scheduling regular veterinary check-ups. These visits allow your veterinarian to assess your dog’s health, identify potential risks, and recommend preventive measures tailored to your pet’s specific needs. Preventive medications, such as monthly dewormers, flea and tick preventives, and heartworm preventives, are invaluable tools in keeping parasites at bay.

In addition to medical care, maintain a clean and safe environment for your dog. Regularly wash their bedding, clean their living spaces, and ensure they have access to fresh, uncontaminated food and water.

Cherish More Moments, Worry Less

Preventing parasite infestations is more than just a health measure; it’s an act of love. When you invest in prevention, you reduce the time spent nursing a sick pet and create more opportunities for joyful, worry-free moments together.

Protect your dog from parasites now, and ensure they continue to lead a life filled with energy, comfort, and companionship. After all, a healthy dog means a happy home.

Award-winning actress, TV host, and fashion icon Kim Chiu has been announced as Tanduay’s 2025 Calendar Girl, joining a prestigious roster of celebrities who have held the role. Known as the "Chinita Princess," Chiu was officially unveiled in a spectacular event themed “Aura” at the Lucio K. Tan, Jr. Center in Pasay City, marking another milestone in her illustrious career.

The event celebrated not only the announcement of the new calendar girl but also Tanduay’s enduring legacy as a brand that symbolizes quality and resilience. Speaking at the event, Lucio C. Tan III, President of the Lucio Tan Group and Tanduay Distillers, Inc., shared the significance of this tradition in Filipino culture.

“As we approach the close of another year, this annual tradition has become a highlight for many Filipinos. The announcement of the Tanduay Calendar Girl sparks excitement and anticipation, igniting curiosity and friendly speculation,” Tan said. “Tonight, we celebrate not just an iconic campaign, but a legacy of empowerment, artistry, and values that define who we are at Tanduay.”

Tan highlighted the importance of the Tanduay Calendar Girl as a representation of strength, beauty, and confidence—qualities that resonate with the brand’s core values. For decades, this role has stood as a symbol of resilience and empowerment, inspiring audiences across generations.

Kim Chiu’s selection perfectly aligns with these ideals. Having started her career as the first-ever winner of ABS-CBN’s Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition, she has since blossomed into one of the most prominent artists of her generation. From her memorable performances in top-rating TV dramas like Linlang to romantic comedies such as the Philippine adaptation of South Korea’s What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim?, Chiu continues to captivate audiences with her versatility and charm.

“It is a privilege to represent a brand that embodies my own ideals, which are quality and confidence,” Chiu shared during her speech. “We Filipinos know how Tanduay has been providing us with the best rums for decades, and now the whole world also knows about it. Tanduay is also a brand that has withstood the test of time—170 years na siya, pero patuloy pa rin siyang gumagawa ng quality products (It’s now on its 170th year, and it still continues to make quality products) and it just keeps on improving.”

The unveiling ceremony was a visual spectacle, with an LED stage configuration inspired by constellations and celestial themes. Guests, dressed in outfits reflecting their unique “aura,” were treated to a dazzling presentation that culminated in Chiu’s appearance as a modern goddess. Her stunning calendar layouts, which incorporate goddess-inspired designs, were revealed on the big screen, showcasing her elegance and grace.

Lucio C. Tan III closed the evening with a toast to Chiu and the legacy of Tanduay. “This moment also reflects Tanduay’s incredible journey—a proud 170-year story of craftsmanship and innovation. So, let us raise a toast—to our new Tanduay Calendar Girl and to the continued success of Tanduay. May we honor our legacy while continuing to innovate, inspire, and empower.”

As Tanduay marks its 170th year, Kim Chiu’s appointment as the 2025 Calendar Girl serves as a testament to the brand’s commitment to celebrating Filipino artistry and resilience while embracing innovation and progress.

The Secret to Being a Pro: Prioritize a Strong Immune System

In today's fast-paced world, maintaining a robust immune system is no longer optional—it’s essential. Sodium Ascorbate + Zinc (ImmunPro®), with its unique ZincPlus® Technology, offers a simple yet effective way to strengthen your immunity. Here's how this groundbreaking supplement can help you stay on top of your game.

Understanding Immunity: A Lifelong Challenge

While chronic illnesses like diabetes and hypertension have long been associated with weakened immune systems, new research reveals that even healthy individuals experience a natural decline in immunity after their teenage years. This decrease is primarily linked to T cells, a critical component of our immune system that helps fight infections and protect against diseases. Studies indicate that T cell production drops significantly after the age of 20, leaving the body more vulnerable to illness.

This decline is often exacerbated by modern lifestyle choices. Factors like inadequate sleep, poor diet, and chronic stress further weaken immunity, especially in young adults who juggle demanding schedules. Without proper care, these habits can take a toll on overall health.

Vitamin C and Zinc: The Power Duo

To combat the effects of a weakened immune system, researchers emphasize the importance of two essential nutrients: Vitamin C and Zinc. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from damage caused by free radicals, while Zinc is crucial for the optimal functioning of immune cells. Together, they work synergistically to support a healthy immune response.

However, combining these two nutrients isn't as straightforward as it seems. Zinc can degrade Vitamin C, reducing its potency before it even enters the body. This is where ZincPlus® Technology in Sodium Ascorbate + Zinc (ImmunPro®) steps in, ensuring the stabilized combination and absorption of these essential nutrients.

G22, the rising P-pop sensation and Acer ambassadors, captivated the audience with their electrifying live performance of the Predator League anthem, “It Lies Within,” for the first time at the Predator League 2025 Philippine Finals held in Cebu. The performance took place on November 10, 2024, at Robinsons Galleria Cebu, where G22 members AJ, Alfea, and Jaz delivered a powerful rendition of the anthem.

This anthem reflects the unyielding determination and tenacity that esports players bring to each match, and it has even been adapted into multiple languages by participating territories, making it a unifying force within the Asia Pacific esports community.

The Predator League, launched in 2018, has since become a highly anticipated event in the Asia Pacific esports calendar, drawing thousands of teams annually. This platform allows both seasoned professionals and up-and-coming teams to test their skills in an environment that fosters growth, competition, and camaraderie. Acer Philippines’ Managing Director, Sue Ong-Lim, highlighted the tournament’s role in supporting local esports talent. “We have a lot of talented players waiting to be discovered. As a brand known to support esports from all competitive levels, Predator League has been instrumental in Predator’s growth across the region, especially the Philippines,” she remarked.

Looking ahead, the sixth edition of the Asia Pacific Predator League Grand Finals is set to take place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in January 2025. This event will gather fifteen of the region’s top Dota 2 and VALORANT teams, each vying for a share of the impressive US$400,000 prize pool and a chance to etch their names into esports history. Among these elite competitors are the Philippines’ very own Execration and Ivory for Dota 2, alongside ZOL Esports and Team Secret for VALORANT.

G22’s upcoming performance of “It Lies Within” at the Asia Pacific Predator League Grand Finals is set to bring added excitement and energy to an already momentous occasion. Their presence, along with the participation of the Filipino teams, reinforces the Philippines’ growing prominence in the esports scene. As the grand finals draw near, fans and competitors alike eagerly anticipate not only the thrilling matches but also G22’s electrifying anthem performance, which promises to celebrate the spirit of esports and inspire the next generation of players across Asia Pacific.

REP Caps a Sterling Year with “Going Home to Christmas – A Jose Mari Chan Musical

Nothing embodies the warmth and joy of the Christmas season quite like the timeless music of Jose Mari Chan, and Repertory Philippines (REP) is set to make the holidays even brighter with the premiere of its first-ever original jukebox musical. *Going Home to Christmas – A Jose Mari Chan Musical* celebrates the nation’s favorite season by weaving together heartwarming stories, Filipino traditions, and 22 of Chan’s most cherished songs.

Running from November 29 to December 15 at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium in RCBC Plaza, this limited engagement promises a festive experience for theatergoers of all ages. The production, under the artistic vision of REP Artistic Director Jeremy Domingo, features new arrangements of Chan’s hits by the renowned Ejay Yatco and a script penned by Gawad Buhay awardees Luna Griño-Inocian, Robbie Guevara, and Aliw Awardee Joel Trinidad. 

A Heartwarming Celebration of Family and Tradition  

The musical centers on the journeys of various characters as they head home for the holidays, rediscovering the love and connections that make Christmas truly special. From a couple rekindling their romance on a second honeymoon to overseas Filipino workers yearning for family reunions, the narrative paints a vivid and relatable picture of Pinoy holiday traditions. Themes of love, longing, and togetherness unfold against the backdrop of iconic songs like *Christmas in Our Hearts* and *A Perfect Christmas*, alongside other beloved Jose Mari Chan classics.  

“The stories reflect the heart of the Filipino Christmas experience,” shares Domingo. “It’s a celebration of everything we hold dear about the season: family, laughter, and the enduring magic of coming home.”  

A Stellar Cast and Creative Team  

The production features a powerhouse cast led by acclaimed theater veterans Carla Guevara-Laforteza as Pat, Lorenz Martinez as Arnie, Noel Rayos as Richard, and Neomi Gonzales as Josie. The ensemble includes Floyd Tena, Mayen Bustamante-Cadd, Neo Rivera, Justine Narciso, Carla Martinez, and a talented lineup of supporting performers who bring vibrancy to each scene. Mika Espinosa and Onyl Torres round out the cast as swings, ensuring every performance delivers a polished experience.  

Behind the scenes, the creative team brings the production to life with stunning visuals and expert direction. Franco Ramos leads the choreography, Ohm David designs the set, and Hershee Tantiado crafts costumes that evoke the warmth and nostalgia of the season. The immersive experience is enhanced by GA Fallarme’s projection design, Meliton Roxas Jr.’s lighting, and Aji Manalo’s sound design. The technical expertise of Julia Pacificador, Davidson Oliveros, and Patricia Gregorio ensures a seamless production.  

Jose Mari Chan’s Enduring Legacy  

“I am deeply honored that REP chose my songs as the heart of their first jukebox musical,” says Chan. “Knowing that my music continues to bring joy to so many people is an incredible blessing. I’m excited to see these songs reimagined and brought to life in a way that adds new meaning to them.” 

Chan’s music has become synonymous with Christmas in the Philippines, earning him the title of “Mr. Christmas.” Every year, his hits signal the start of the holiday season, and REP’s musical ensures that tradition continues in a fresh, theatrical format.  

A Festive Season to Remember  

Domingo adds, “This production is a love letter to the Filipino Christmas spirit. With *Going Home to Christmas – A Jose Mari Chan Musical*, we hope to create an experience that resonates with everyone who holds the season close to their hearts.”
